Red Dust

CriticsCritics: 67
AudienceAudience: 6.5

A human rights lawyer returns to South Africa to represent a Black politician tortured under apartheid. As a former police officer seeks amnesty through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the case forces victims and witnesses to confront painful memories and pursue answers about a missing fellow activist.

My take

You’ll like this if you want a tense, emotionally demanding courtroom drama about justice, forgiveness, and historical trauma; Not for you if you prefer light entertainment or fast-moving action.
